I would think that you had better be flexible upon where you would want to
live. The Bay Area "SUCKS" for tech jobs, CCIE or not. These days companies
are in the drivers seat. Experience, and more Experience are the things that
rank. The CCIE will give you that distinct advantage with your resume
showing years of "Experience" to back it up...
Some of those CCIE cram schools get rave reviews. Some say they would never
have passed without going to one. Check that gold mine of information called
the Groupstudy Archives.
As for current CCIE opportunities just go to the usual job sites and do a
CCIE search. There's slim pickens these days.
JMHO
